my favorite long sleeve tee

you know that one shirt that you have in your closet, the one that is your current favorite? everything is right about it. the fit, the color, the feel...everything. this charcoal tee from old navy is that shirt for me right now. and i found it on clearance for like $6, which makes this whole thing even better.

i may or may not be a little nervous to wash it for fear that it will forever be changed and no longer be my favorite tee.

the question is: how many times can i wear it before it is no longer socially acceptable to not wash it?

I share the same fear about washing my favorite tops. I have lost too many good shirts in this never ending battle. I say 1,000,000,000,000 is a good number :) Good luck when you finally decide to wash it!

Old Navy has the most classic pieces! Currently, meaning since Christmas Eve, I have worn a grey cardigan from there every other day or so. It's the perfect fit, color, and it's a 9 on the scale of coziness. Plus, did I mention it was grey? Favoriteeeee.

I always have that fear with a new favorite item! Will it shrink? What's if it's not as stretchy? If it shortens my bright white stomach will show....wahHH. I say have it dry cleaned to avoid any issues. Yay for $6 favorite shirts.

Such a cute outfit. I do love that shirt too. I wish it was still available! I don't know how many times you can wear it without washing it, mostly because I'm not sure my answer would be socially acceptable. :)

The shirt is cute, i really am not so sure about the skirt or dress or whatever that is, its pretty tacky. I would have pared that shirt with a super cute pair of skinny jeans with those boots or skinny jeans with flats the skirt is to much.. and doesnt go right with the shirt color or the scarf.

I own this top! In every color they had... :) I also love it. When you wash it, all is well. BUT DON'T DRY IT. I dried one of mine and it got a bit fuzzy like it was one I've had for years. Disappointing. So a-ok to wash, but lay it flat to dry! :) Also, I think you are adorable. You pair together things I never would expect and you always look amazing! The person "Anonymous" above is rude.

I've never commented before but I read your blog every day and love it. You are adorable and I agree with futureMrs.Davies--I love how you put things together that are totally unexpected and that I would never have thought of.....it's helping me to branh out with my style and be more "fun"! NOTHING you wear is ever tacky. :)

I may (or may not have) on occasion bought more than one of the same item because of this very fear. I mean...not so much that its an unhealthy habit. But definitely more than once. There is probably something not right about me....

I agree with Jill ^. I may or may not have bought 2-3 of the same cheap-ish shirts out of fear. However, I had a long sleeve shirt from Old Navy that decided to shrink to toddler size in the wash (not even the dryer!). So. I only got to wear it once :(
